And the one who's moving the process there might as well raise the
limit in the child all the same.  It doesn't make any difference
without delegation and with delegation we need to restrict migration
at the exactly same junctions.  We can't delegate otherwise.  And the
resource limit for the delegated subtree is enforced from its parent
which delegatee can't escape how it changes the configuration or moves
processes around.

Thanks.
